Intent Fulfillment Feedback for Precise Parameter Adjustment

Resolve Bottlenecks,
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

In intent-driven management services, intent consumers lack the ability to identify specific situations where intents are unfulfilled, leading to improper adjustments of intent parameters and excessive resource consumption due to guesswork and numerous negotiations.

Innovation Solution

A communication method and apparatus that enables intent consumers to obtain operation details, allowing them to purposefully adjust intent parameter expressions based on fulfillment status, reducing unnecessary negotiations and resource consumption.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the intent consumer adjusts intent parameters based on guessing without knowing specific unfulfillment situations, then the intent consumer can perform operations on intent fields, but a large quantity of negotiations exist between intent consumer and intent producer, consuming system operation and maintenance resources

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveintent parameter adjustment capabilityVSAvoidsystem operation and maintenance resources

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the intent producer sends fulfillment status information to the intent consumer. This feedback includes specific details about which intent parameters are unfulfilled and their current evaluation values, enabling the intent consumer to make informed adjustments rather than guessing, thereby reducing unnecessary negotiations and resource consumption

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intent management service as an intermediary between the intent consumer and intent producer. This service manages the intent fulfillment process, handles the communication of fulfillment status, and coordinates parameter adjustments, reducing the direct negotiation burden between consumer and producer

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the intent consumer randomly adjusts expression value of intent parameter without knowing specific unfulfillment situations, then the intent consumer can attempt to fulfill intent, but the expression value may be adjusted to be excessively low

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveintent parameter adjustment flexibilityVSAvoidintent parameter expression value accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The intent producer provides feedback to the intent consumer including the current evaluation value of unfulfilled intent parameters and information about specific unfulfillment situations. This feedback enables the intent consumer to adjust expression values precisely to reach the required thresholds without random guessing or excessive lowering

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The intent producer pre-calculates and provides information about which intent parameters need adjustment and by how much to reach the expression value threshold. This preliminary analysis allows the intent consumer to make precise adjustments in one step rather than through multiple trial-and-error adjustments

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the intent consumer performs operations on each intent field based on guessing, then the intent consumer can attempt to fulfill intent target, but a large quantity of negotiations exist between intent consumer and intent producer

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveintent fulfillment operation capabilityVSAvoidnegotiation time between intent consumer and producer

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a targeted feedback mechanism where the intent producer identifies and communicates specifically which intent parameters are unfulfilled and require adjustment. This eliminates the need for the intent consumer to guess and check each field, reducing negotiations to only the necessary parameter adjustments

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The intent producer performs preliminary analysis to identify unfulfilled intent parameters and calculates the required adjustment values before communicating with the intent consumer. This preliminary work prepares a clear adjustment plan that reduces back-and-forth negotiations and accelerates the fulfillment process

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

This application provides a communication method and apparatus. The communication method includes: A first device receives first information from a second device. The first information includes information about an evaluation value of a first parameter of a first intent. When the evaluation value of the first parameter does not reach an expression value of the first parameter, the first device sends second information to the second device. The second information is used to enable the evaluation value of the first parameter to reach the expression value of the first parameter. In this way, the first device may perform an intent management operation based on information about the evaluation value and the expression value of the first parameter. This avoids a case in which the expression value of the intent parameter is improperly adjusted, and improves system running performance.
